More "3's" in Burbank

A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about the three gun stores in Burbank on a one-mile stretch of Magnolia.

Today, I saw another "three" -- this time, it was three homeless people on one three-block stretch of Victory, right around 5 points. What has happened to our city's vaunted social services?

Burbank's Magnolia Blvd. now has three gun stores

How many gun stores does one Burbank street need? Lots, apparently. Magnolia Boulevard now has three gun stores within the mile between Victory and Buena Vista. Is there that much demand in that neighborhood? (I'd like to point out that there are only two bars in the same stretch of road. Probably a good thing, considered.) Is this what the Magnolia Park folks (the merchants association) had in mind? Is this what the city council had in mind? Is this the same city council that would not allow new restaurant establishments on the same stretch of road a few years back because patrons might park on surrounding residential streets? Um, priorities?
